Rain eraser.

You can't spell "train" without "rain," but the weather-resistant Gore-Tex bootie at the heart of Sidi's men's Hydro Gore-Tex Shoes means that — for your feet, at least — the two words don't have to be synonymous when the sky darkens before a ride. In addition to being waterproof, the Gore-Tex used in the Hydro is also an effective seal against winter chill, so they'll be your go-to option during the coldest months of winter.

The shoes are framed by Sidi's signature Lorica uppers, and a neoprene ankle cuff battens down with a hook-and-loop cuff to effectively seal out moisture from above. The carbon-infused nylon of the Millenium 3 Sole is less stiff than the carbon platforms on your summer shoes, which makes for a more forgiving feel over long winter base miles or while navigating impassable weather-related obstacles on foot. Three additional hook-and-loop straps adjust the fit on the foot proper, and the Hydros are built slightly larger than a typical Sidi shoe to accommodate the thicker socks, so you can supplement the light insulation as conditions require.
